Koch on Koch

As they might say in show biz, Ed Koch is top banana in the Big Apple.
Now an enterprising publisher has put together a collection of his yaks
and zingers titled 'How'm I Doing?' The Wit & Wisdom of Ed Koch
(Lion Books; $4.50). A sampling:

On His Own Achievements: "You know how I always ask everybody how
am I doing? Well, today I asked myself, and the answer was, 'Terrific.'
" On Priorities: "For me promotion of the city's economy is a
No. 1 priority. Of course, we have ten No. 1 priorities."
